New Work and Ramblings

Iris, 8 x 10, 99 dollars 

Hummingbird and  Red Geranium, 8x10, 99 dollars 

 Hi,everyone, I have  not  been keeping in touch  like I mean to. I have been  painting as much as I can.  I went to the Opening at Norfolk Academy and that was lovely, I did sell one of my four paintings, the Angry Chicken.  This chicken painting  had a checker board tail. I have been painting just whatever  has inspired me, mostly  spring things. I love all the beautiful  colors popping out every  where. Next Saturday I will be teaching at Norfolk Botanical Garden. I always get ideas there ,it is so lovely.

You have heard me say we live in a forest,well, we are cutting the timber. This is a good thing but you by now know how much the woods and wildlife mean to me. I know it will grow back but it seems to hurt my heart when I hear the wind in the trees or just see how magnificent  they are. Silly but me...

Sadie, my lab, Jelly, our black kitten,and Cupcake, our cat,and all are well. Oops suppertime.  Gotta cook, love to each of you, Diana

    Lovely paintings. Its always good to see your work. My first thought is Sadie will have less to get into with less forest. Maybe its time to plant a beautiful dogwood or other ornamental tree? Have a wonderful week!

    Oh Diana your art is always so lovely abd inspires me to keep painting. I so understand how you ate feeling about cutting your woods. Hope you will still hear the wind and enjoy nature with what will be left standing. Sending you a big hug!

    Love that bristly piggie! ha ha All the others are wonderful, too, of course, but he really caught my eye with that checkerboard background. So glad you are painting a lot!
